Clothing trends between 1950 and 1955

The cloth manufacturers were now using new machines and techniques of producing clothes. The fashion was in transition and therefore new styles and silhouettes was in trend. The sheath dress had got famous during the early 50s, later the skirt, bodice, and jackets got in trend. The whole world was adopting the American look during this age. The evening dress had become an ideal option for the evening parties. The high waisted dresses and swimsuits were luring more and more women at that time. The designers presented many dresses with loose waistline. The skirt length was reduced and therefore the women had more to show off and look sexier.

The women were willing to look more charming by endorsing their figure. Therefore, the leading brands introduced relaxed silhouettes and Dior had introduced the H-Line Vintage Skirt, which got a huge popularity during 1954. The soft and bright colors’ fabrics were in high demands therefore the contemporary clothes were available in bright shades. 1955 was the year when the western users were introduced to what women use in the eastern countries. Many new colors, fabrics, and styles from the east got famous in Europe and the USA. You can say that 1955 was the year while the eastern fashion and western fashion were merged to form something new.

Clothing trends between 1956 and 1960

It was clear that the comfortable clothes will remain in trend for a long time, but the classic formal clothes had got back again during 1956. The American Broadway Musicals like My Fair Lady were hugely responsible for comeback of formal clothes. The dresses made from satin, silk, and chiffon got a huge popularity during this year. The Asian fabrics and styles were gaining more popularity due to their unique appeal.

The two-piece, boxy fit suit was first introduced during 1957. Women liked the trend of blouse with an open button jacket. The h-line skirt and decorative jackets were ruling the markets and were in huge demands. The designers improved the charm of evening dresses and tweeds by trying some new fabrics and new styles. Hence, many women were not willing to wear loose shape “sack dress”, the trapeze dress was introduced to meet the demands.

It was clear that one style cannot rule the market for a long time, so the designers were trying to maintain the popularity of different dress styles. The manipulation of fabric was at its peak during the 1959. Today, you can find many 1950s dresses, made from different fabrics. The trend of the Sack Dress was over during 1959.
